Title: The Last Place

Welcome back again to the commentary track for The Last Place. I am your freindly author, Liza, and I am here to tell you just what the frell I was thinking when I wrote this long, sad, sordid tale of Baby-Snatching Space Pirates and the Mystics Who Vex Them.

True. And Paul's adorable. But I have a weird sort of squick about fantasizing about real people, so the image of him in my brain behaves itself. :)

I would get it to if I could. I think if I ever met him face to face it would nip that in the bud, weirdly enough.

Heh. Yeah, I saw that when you were doing the "ask my characters things" meme. Poor Stark looked quite confused. :)

That was TOO MUCH FUN, and more than a little self-indulgent. :D

My RPG Baniks (on whom I have expended way, way too much thought) don't actually have words for "homosexual" and "heterosexual" and find the idea of those as orientations really bizarre. They see it as preferences. Some people have a strong preference one way or another, and some don't, but it's like your taste in food, or or other criteria for what you like in a partner, not something that's a core identity issue. And most Baniks have had at least one experience with each sex, if only as teenagers, when they're sort of encouraged to experiment a bit and figure out what their preferences are. Of course, same-sex Banik couples in RPG world can reproduce naturally, though it's very rare with m/m couples, because females are much more likely to conceive than males. So it makes sense to me that they'd accept bisexuality as a normal sort of thing.

This actually makes much more sense than the way I have it in my head, and in many ways is identical anyway.

(We get on the weirdest ass tangents, I swear...)

At least your characters didn't insult you. :)

Having opened the mpreg can of worms, so to speak, it seemed to me that there would have to be social and psychological consequences of that on their ideas about sexuality.

Um... Yes. :)

The wrong people got asked the wrong questions for that, you see...

You may have noticed that I accepted the Mpreg without question, always saying things like the chances are better with someone of the opposite gender. It just made so much sense, the way you described it.
